Biography

Hagen started with a military career, and held the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was first hired in the Royal Court in 1974, as an aide-de-camp of King Olav V. He became private secretary in 1979. [1] When Olav V died in 1991 and was replaced with Harald V, Hagen continued as private secretary. [2] In the beginning of that year, it was noted that the entire court of the Norwegian royal family comprised as little as nine people: Hagen, Ingvald M. Smith-Kielland, Kaare Langlete, Ingegjerd Løvenskiold, Gunerius Flakstad and Barbara Iliff. [3]

Hagen remained in his position until his retirement on 1 February 2000. Two days later he was summoned to a private audience with the king and queen, where he was decorated with the Grand Cross of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav, a rare decoration for non-royals. [1]

He is also a former leader of Norges Orienteringsforbund. He resides in Strømmen. [4]

The 1994 national convention of the Progress Party of Norway was held from 15 April to 17 April at the hotel Bolkesjø Turisthotell in Bolkesjø, Telemark. It was originally set up to be a normal convention with 157 delegates in a non-election year, but because of mounting antagonism between a traditionalist and a libertarian faction, it became clear some months before the conventions that personal positions could be at stake. The party leader seat, held by Carl I. Hagen since 1978, was up for re-election. The deputy leaders Ellen Wibe and Hans J. Røsjorde was not up for election until 1995, but there were talks about forming a motion of no confidence against Wibe. The political disagreements roughly corresponded to a cleavage between two factions.
